A firm at Annistou, Ala,, has just
' closed a contract to furnish water pipo
to the City of Tokio, Japan.
English, German aud Belgian manu?
facturers were in competition for tho
contract, but despite this fact it was
awarded ADniston, and the figures at
which it was taken will afford a good
profit, Tho Baltimore Sun. iu refer?
ring to this matter, has the following
to say: 4,Wheu Anuiston, Ala., is able
to supply Tokio, Jnpau, with water
pipe at a profit, in competitiou with
English, German aud Belgian bidders,
how foolish and ineincero seem the
dolorous wails sent up from that quar?
ter in 189o when it wbb proposed to re?
move tho duty from iron ore and pig,
No protection was needed, it is olear,
since Anniaton can pay freight on its

Tbero has never been a period in the
history of the country, when there has
Ik tin bo persistent and determined uu
effort, on tho pare of the othor sections
to securo the trade of tho South, Chi?
cago is makinc a bold etVort to capture
that olnss of tratio from tbo South
which seek Western markets, and just
about this time there is an interesting
contest going on botweon that oity,
and Cincinnati und St. Louis for that
business.
Tho funt that St. Louis paid tho

butler, and now it is announced thut
the merchants of the "Windy City"
are raising n fund not only to pay thu
railroad fares of intending customers
from tho South who are shortly to visit
them, but to pay tho hotel bills as woll.
Cincinnati is equally alivo to tho
situation and ib reaching out for bur
share of Southern business, while Now
York, Baltimore aud Boston nro en?
deavoring to cover every foot of South

and great things uro yet in store for
